Pesky power cuts

WE THE Srinagarites

IMMEDIATELY after the Sarkari Darbar moved to Jammu for six months, the summer Capital started facing power crisis.
 A City area, on an average, as per me, has to face some 60  hours of unscheduled power  cuts a week, thereby putting the masses particularly students to inconvenience.
 The state has a great potential to generate power. With latest technologies and sufficient resources at disposal, entire Kashmir could get uninterrupted power supply that too almost free of cost.
 But as for now even the Capital City of Srinagar has to face the worst of the power supplies and the problem aggravates during winters. As for my native Batamaloo, we hardly get power supply as if the locality is being victimized for some reasons better known to those at the helm of affairs.
